We are pleased to announce that the Secretary of State has approved in principle our application to become an academy, although we continue to consult widely before a final agreement is reached.

These are exciting times and we want all those who have a stake in the school to be aware of our current application to convert to academy status. We welcome your views and urge you to contact us at academyconsultation@northern-house.oxon.sch.uk.
